Between the Lights.

Between the lights the soul has time to think,
10 view in retrospect the vanished hours,
10 call again hope s amarathine flowers,
10 stop beside the fount of life and drink.
Between tho lights-no need Of spoken
words
Our language is too poor when we are near
The Ideal Lifc-when other tones we hear,
Tones more divine than mortal ear hath
heard.
Love ~chants.of purer joys and noblcr heights,
True music thrills the soul with deeper
power,
And life grows richer in tho quiet hour,
When we can pause and rest Letween tho
lights.

Sau consumption DC cureQ
we have SO often seen fatal results follow
the declaration that it can be cured, that We
have unconsciously settled down in the belief
That this disease must necessarily prove fatal.
1t IS true that occasionally a community has
witnessed an isolated case OF what may ap-
propriately be termed spontaneous recovery,
but to what combination Of favorable circum-
stances this result was due none have hitherto
been found able TO determine.
we have now the gratifying fact to nnnounc
that the process by which nature effects this
wonderful change is no longer q mystery to
the medical profession, and that the changes
brought about in the system under favorable
circumstances by intrinsic causes may be made
rs certainty and moro cxpeditiously by the use
OF the proper remedy. In other words, nature
Is initiated and assisted.
Tuberculous matter is nothing moro or less
than nourishrncnt imperfectly organized.
Now. If we can procure the organization of
this food material SO that through the process
OF elective affinity it may take its place in the
e!stem, wc can cure the disease. This is :nst
what Piso's Cure for Consumption does. 1t
arrests ut once the progress Of the disease by
preventing the further supply Of tuberculous
matter, for while the. system is under its in
fluence all nouri*hment is organized and as
simulated, 1t thus controls cough, expectora-
ton, night-sweats, hectic foyer, and all other
characteristic symptoms of Consumption.
Many physicians are now using this medi-
cine, and all write that it comes fully up to its
recommendations and makes Consumption one
or the diseases they can readily cure;
The forming stage Of n disease is always the
most suspicious for treatment. This fact should
induce persons to resort TO the use of Piso's Cure
when the cough is first noticed, whether it has
q consumptive diathcsis for it's cause or not,
iorthis remedy cures all kinds of coughs with
unequalled facility and promptness. In coughs
from q simple cold, two or three doses Of the
medicine have been found sufficient to remove
the. trouble. SO in all diseases Of the throat
and lungs, with symptoms Stimulating those
Of Consumption, Piso's Cure is the only infal-
lible remedy.
The following letter recommending Plso's
Cure for Consumption, is q fair sample of the
certificates received daily by the proprietor OF
this medicines:
ALBION, N. Y, Dec. 90, 1885.
!had a terrible Cough, and two physicians

If the question were asked, What is

we dare say most Of the Journal readers,

A queer story is told of Mark Twain.
Not long ago the humorist was travel
ing in the country, and stopped one
evening at a house presided over by an
elderly woman. lie was shown to n
room somewhat bare of ornament and
furniture, yet slept peacefully until
morning. When morning came, and he
arose., he became mindful of the fact that,
although he had provided himself with a
tooth brush, he had forgotten his tooth
powder. lie consoled himself with the
thought that there must be tooth pow
der lying somewhere about After Il brief
search he discovered something in a
small box on the mantcl which certainly
rcsembled tooth powder. At any rate.
he used it vigorously on his teeth. and
found it satisfactory. When he got down
stairs, he apologized to the hostess for
using her tooth powder. She appeared
surprised. "What tooth powdcr?" she
inquired blandly. at was on the man
tel" Mark replied. Son tho man,cl?"
she repeated. YES in a small box, it
was excellent" he declared. "Good
gracious! !" she calculated. ''That wasn't
tooth powder" "What was it," asked
Mark, nov slightly alarmed. "Why,
that was auntic," said she. ct seems
that ''auntie" had been crcmntcd.)

of Schley. Georgia, aged 102 years.
He was an African chief of the As

from Africa in 1907, when he was q
stalwart young man. He had large
family in Virginia, and when he died
he left his third wife and twenty-five
children in Georgia. His grandchil.
dren and great grandchildren are I'm
known and unnumbered. He had
remarkably good eyesight and health
and never took dose of medicine in
his life. He had teeth like ivory and
every one was in his head at the time
of his death.

black robes. In the beginning of the
century the robes had scarlet facing,
because once Chief Justice John Jay
borrowed the robe of the chancellor
of New York, which was so faced, and
all the other justices followed the
style. In 1908, however, some one
asserted that the red trimming was too

the plain black has been used ever
since.
